1761.0. "One Agent90 for 3 Hubs?" by HGOCS::KENNETH (Water addict, water man) Tue Dec 06 1994 02:20


Hi,

In DECagent 90's SPD, it states that the DECagent 90 can proxy for
multiple DEChub 90 backplanes.  If I have three DEChub 90 blackplane
with Bridge 90 on each of it and I just insert one DECagent 90 on
on of this HUBs, does it work?  I mean only one DECagent 90 for 3
HUBs.  If yes, how to connect it?  

Thanks for your help in advance.

    The 1 agent 90 can be put in any hub or standalone.  You must configure
    an IP address via the agent console.  The hubs can be hooked up
    in a variety of ways but probably some sort of a backbone will connect
    the front of the DECbridge 90's together.
    
    You then need HUBWATCH.  Go into the COMMUNITY MANAGE TABLE and
    add the DECagent 90 in the upper half.  In the lower half you will
    add in the other 2 hubs, ie. the ones that only contain the DECbridge
    90's and you are done.  Allow the DECagent a few minutes to poll
    the bridges and update its tables and everything should show up
    just fine.  You will have to manually add terminal servers but
    90M's or 90TL's will at least be auto-discovered.
